He should rename “the gulf of America” back to “the gulf of mexico” while he’s at it

Is that a question or a statement?

I just put in a nice android auto one into my 25 year old vehicle. And added a backup camera 😂. My vehicle didn’t have the option back in the day. Did that for about 500$

You’re probably right 😅

I’m with you.

I hate how tech is in everything now. Everything is IOT. Everything can expire because of software abandonment.

You know how you have those 70 year old fridges that still work? I’m sure that new Samsung IOT one will have planned obsolescence after 20 years tops.

You know how we have classic cars? Thing of the past. Locked firmware and phone home capabilities will brick new cars for similar reasons when they become old.

Haven’t seen it put any more concisely. It’s true though. I really really hope some AI bubble pops soon…

When you hear people say they hate AI, it’s for more reasons than AI slop, energy consumption, and beating the damn term into every product line you can imagine for little to no benefit.

My 6 year old build had ram in it (2x16) that was going end of life a few years ago so I bought the same pair again before it did. I’ll be good for a while, glad I made the move when I did.

I knew there was something wrong when we started getting positive metrics based on how much we leveraged AI.

Maybe he will drop dead and the rest of the world can move past his sad existence

Brain worms.

It’s not a windows is shit at managing memory problem though. If you have 1MB of RAM left and you open something, something has to happen. A process killed, an alert generated, something moved to disk instead of RAM (paging), or a system lockup or something. This is the management piece. What to do when you’re out.

They only care about siphoning our data and advertising to us. And vibe coding apparently. Such a buggy pos these days.

Well it is a problem when it’s consistently getting close then I get tickets that computers are performing poorly shortly after. You’re on the cusp of page thrashing if you’re high on usage.

Your use case is not a typical one either, compared to what I’m dealing with. It sounds like maybe you have a few heavy hitters, but when you’re constantly switching between MS office, web pages, and CAD and things like that it becomes very noticeable. If a machine has 15.6GB used out of 16GB, a single web page could trigger some thrashing.

For example, I regularly saw Palo Alto panorama use around 1GB for just the single web page 😅

Ya that would not be a sustainable option in my case unfortunately.

This was so well done, very cool!

It’s crazy to me that I’m recommending 32GB RAM systems to everyone now because I regularly get alerts for a good chunk of machines that hit close to 16GB usage.

My Linux desktop boots so fast and I can’t tell ya how much ram on boot but I’m pretty sure it’s still less than 2GB 😂

Windows is like 6 or 7 easy.

But how else will you type an installed app name into the start menu and have it open Microsoft edge with shitty search results?

That’s super cool, respect.
